Boulanger's Case Again Stirs Up (
Deputies.

BOulanger'S Case Again StlrS Up the
Deputies.
PARIS, July 12.-The Chamber of Depu-
ties by an unanimous vote has refused to
accept the resignation Of N. Flouquet. as
President of the Chamber. In the course of
the debate yesterday in the Chamber of
Deputies NJ Clemenceau charged that the
government was in league with the Con
servatives. The Boulanger question arose
during the complete dsorganization
of the Republican party. He condemned
the demonstrations III favor of Gen. Bou-
LANCER, but he added that that was easily
explained. The people believed that they
saw in Gen. Boulanger not a daliverer, but
man who was attacked by the German press
and French Conservatives. His popularity
was that which the Chamber should have
had, had it resolutely entered upon the
work of reform.
PUBLIC OPINION MIsLED.
Public opinion was being misled Leaders
were needed whose motto was Forward !"
who were for the republic against mon
archy In conclusion NJ. Clemenceau said
that he was not able to understand why
there were Boulangists and anti-Bouang-
lists. Gen. Boulanger was now in his proper
position and where he ought to remain.
NJ Laisant, amid great uproar, tried to
defend Gen. Boulanger. He said that the
Cabinet was constituted under foreign
pressure.
RESIGNATION THREATENED.
This assertion brought Premier Rouvier
to his feet, and ne threatened to leave the
Chamber unless the President called NJ.
Laisant to order, which was done.
Premier Rouvier then replied to NJ Glenn
enceau He said In effect that the govern
ment was still desirous Of having a republi-
had had assist assisted in in solving many many
questions, and while be would not
ask their support he would not consider
them enemies. In conclusion Minister
Rouvier declared that if 200 Republicans
voted against them the Ministry would
resign.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Gen.
Ferrons reports on the creation of new
cavalry regiments and reforms in the
infantry were read, and urgency was de-
clared. The reports will be discussed TO-
morrow.
NJ. Floquet has withdrawn his resignation
as President Of the Chamber. The newspa-
pers here agree that NJ. Rouvier's pluck mas
secured for the Cabinet a new lease OF life.

al" ROAD STRIKERS.
Danger That a General Tie-Up May
be Ordered.

New York, July l2.-The Brooklyn Ele-
waited road this morning was running four
trains. Fhe strikers stated that they had
demanded that days work be reduced from
8 hours and so minutes TO 8 hours, and that
the pay'of firemen be increased from $l75
to 81 per day. A member of District AS
sembly No. rs, says that the employees of
the car lines in that assembly were notified
to be in readiness to tie up at any moment.
They offered a years agreement made With
the company as an objection and 1t was
taken as a valid one but this morn
ing the company broke the agreement
by posting new time tables on which the
number of ''trippersn was greatly increased
and the men considered themselves no longer
bound by 1T, and a general tie-up may be or
dered. The strikers held an enthusiastic
meeting this morning at Knights of Pythia9
Hall, on Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn,
Speeches were made at the meeting by Dan
Cooney, s. O. Dimmick and "Old Reliable
Watson, Of the Locomotive brotherhood,
urging the men to stand firm. 1t reported
that an engine on the Il" road was stoned
last night The strikers expressed deep re-
gret. They say they have no sympathy
whatever with acts of violence and that
their men will take no part therein.
NEW MEN WON'T STICK.
DuTlnR Uue udy Lne company llltue SbTel-
uous efforts to secure men to take the strik-
erS' places. At noon seven engines were
running, but the persuasions of the strikers
had reduced this number to three at 5
o'clock. The officers of the company learned
that strikers were riding on the engines and
trying to induce the new engineers TO strike.
They accordingly requested the police to in
terfere. At each station one policeman was
on duty but there was no outbreak. The
strikers were in session at East New York
all day. As fest as the new men were in
duced to strike, announcement of the fact
was made at the meeting and was greeted
with cheers The joint committees of the
Brotherhoods of Locomotive Firemen and
Engineers adopted "cards to the public" in
which they warn the public against the in
competency of scab engineers, and also dis
claim responsibility for any trouble or OBJ
structiOns on the road.
No trains were run after 10 36 o'clock to-
night, but the officers Of the road say they
have already had forty applicants for the
striking engineers places The applicants
win be examined by the Master Mechanic
tomorrow and if they prove competent
they viii be Immediately put to work. The
management say they are satisfied with the
situation At the continued session of the
strikers tonight the same feeling was ex-
pressed by the ex-employes Of the road.

PACIFIC RAILWAYS.
The Investigating Committee in Ses-
sion at Denver.


DENVER, Col, July 12.-The Pacific Rail
way Investigating Committee yesterday
continued its session quite late. Senator
Hill remained upon the stand and was cross
examined by Mr.. Teller on behalf of the
Union Pacific Company. He admitted that
ne was stoCkhOlder in the Montana Mining
Company, and had received S67. 600 of re-
bate from the Union Pacific road. He ad-
nltted that the Legislature of Colorado had
appointed q committee to investigate the
charges OF corruption in connection with
the Senatorial contest that resulted in the
election OF Senator P. W. Teller
A REFUSAL TO DISCLOSE.
The witness admitted that he had gone
before that committee and had refused to
disclose information in his possession re-
gardlng the charges of corruption. He had
so refused because the committee, with one
or two exceptions, was composed of the
meanest and most false and dishonest of
men. Mr.. Teller asked the witness if he
would now give this commission the in
formation he had refused to give to the
Legislative Committee. He replied that
some of it had passed from his memory and
some had been obtained from confidential
sources which he would not like to expose.
Mr.. Teller asked the witness if he ref used to
uloCIOSo Uue IQlOTnlaUlOQ.
JURISDICTION QUESTIONED.
The witness replied, that he did not sup
pose it to be the object of this Commission
to investigate as to what members of the
Colorado Legislature sold their votes. The
Commission said it would be part Of their
duty, to investigate matter Of that sort,
If the Union Pacific Railway Company was
in any way connected with it. The witness
said the most he could do was to state his
belief, based on what he saw, and on sur
rounding circumstances. The Commission
ers requested the Senator to furnish them
with the names of all parties who could
throw any light on the subject, as to the
question of the settlement of the Railroad
debt to the Government. Senator Hill was
of the opinion that the Union Pacific Com
pany had shockingly abused its privileges,
and he for one would be glad to see the road
turned into the hands of the Government,
and have it run as the Post Office Depart
ment is run.

Whisky Shortage.
LEXINGTON, KY, July 12.-The facts in
the great whisky shortage at Frankfort
have just come to light. Special revenue
agents Kellogg and Crawford, from Wash
ington, with four United States gaugers,
examined every barrel of whisky in the
two bonded warehouses of the o. F. c. and
Carlisle distilleries, located at Frankfort,
KY, and owned by the &. H. Taylor Dis
tilling Company. In the 1900 bar
rels contained therein they found 4,40O
which. had to be regauged. Fifty
barrels of that number were almost
entirely empty, while l 200 were short from
10 to 50 gallons each. One barrel, the last
one entered in 1884, which at that time con
tained "A gallons, upon reSauging was found
to contain "a gallons. The company has
employed Green B. Raum, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, as their attorney. He
was in Frankfort last week and took the de
positions OF the government employees who
have been at work in the distillery. 1t is
found that the cooperS, whose business
is to look after the leaks and
repair bad cooperage, had frequently been
locked up in the warehouse for hours at a
time, and that a syphon and bucket had
been found in one of the warehouses. The
local distilleries, as well as the proprietors,
claim that the excessive shortage, 1900
gallons, could not have been caused by
equalizing but was simply stolen. The pro-

IT'S CHARTER FORFEITED.
The Fidelity National Bank Now Dead
Beyond Resurrection.

10y OA4N 1eSSNAA SSbAOA-
CINCINNATI, July 12.-Somewhat unex-
pectedly a final decree was entered by order
Of Judge Sage this afternoon in the case of
Mr. Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency,
against the Fidelity National Bank and it's
directors and officers, to forfeit the charter
of the bank Demurrers had been filed by
President Briggs Swift and others, and
there was an appearance of a lengthy legal
argument Upon a mutual understanding
argument was dropped and a decree was
agreed upon by all parties, which disrnisses
the action against the directors and officers
but finds that the bank had violated the
banking laws of the United States by loan
ing money to D. A. Fitzpatrick and others
upon security of its own capital stock, and
BY permitting its cash on hand to fall be-
low the required 25 per cent. Of its circula-
tion and deposits and by mourning new
obligations while in this insolvent condition.
The charter of the bank is, therefore, de
clared forfeited This action puts all the
assets a the late bank into the hands of Re-
ceiver Armstrong and dissolves all attach
mentS upon its property made since the
bank was seized by the government.
